  • Pizza Fair review

    I’ve realised that I’ve become quite discerning about what pizzas I’m prepared to eat these days. I do also realise that people’s tastes in pizza are very diverse so what I enjoy will not appeal to everyone. My favourite pizza’s are Col’caccio pizzas. I love the thin base and they put on just the right…

  • Zula Bar review

    Zula Bar is one of few venues for live music. It’s been around for quite a while now and seems to be going strong. It’s nice to see live music being supported, but I think there were quite a few people there who weren’t particularly concerned about the music. Considering there is usually a cover charge…

    There are 6 Tong Loks in Cape Town. The one in Kloof Street (just up from Depascos and Opposite the Friendly) recently underwent renovations and that is the one that I visited last night. I don’t remember having been to a Tong Lok before, and I haven’t heard much about them from other people. Since…

    I’m a fan of the Noordhoek Farm Village. When circumstances allow, I try and get out there for a breakfast or lunch at either Cafe Roux, or The Food Barn. I was aware of the Nag’s Head pub next door to Cafe Roux, but had never visited it. I had my first opportunity to do…

    You might be surprised that I hadn’t eaten at Pepenero until now. I had popped in for a drink to check the place out but was put off eating there by the many reports of bad service and average food at high prices. Now they are running some specials, and being a sucker for a…

  • Cafe Sofia breakfast

    I’ve found the new no. 1 spot for breakfast. Cafe Sofia is running a breakfast special which is a super deal. At R20 for an english breakfast and coffee, it makes Beleza look expensive. The alternative is the 3 egg omlette with feta, chorizo and peppers for R25 including coffee. We went to the Cafe…

    This is a rare review because I very seldom get to review restaurants in Paarl. Not because there is anything wrong with Paarl or its restaurants, it’s just that I hardly ever go to Paarl. This weekend I was in the area for Pinotage on Tap at Diemersfontein so I went to dinner in Paarl…

    I was wanting to go to Fairview to buy some wine and cheese, so we decided to go there for breakfast/brunch this past Sunday morning. I hadn’t been the The Goatshed before, despite having ‘herd’ some good reports. As we walked in I knew we had made a good choice in venue, even though the…

    Cafe Sofia has replaced Maestro’s in Kloof Street. They have made a lot of changes so you wouldn’t recognise that it was Maestro’s at all. It’s now airy and open, nice modern furniture, clean lines, stylish effect. There are actually several Cafe Sofia’s around. One in Three Anchor Bay, one in Rondebosch and another in…

  • Sevruga review

    When people hear that I review restaurants, often the first thing they ask is which is my favourite restaurant. That is actually a very difficult question to answer because it will depend on many things: The occasion, the person/people I’m with, my mood, the weather, what I feel like eating, etc. There is a place…
